Velocette Technical Site by David Gibbison
In rebuilding my first Velo (started in 1973, finished in 1996), I became frustratingly aware of a need for easily accessible technical information, none of which could be found in one document. Typically I would look in the “Red Book”, parts list, Burgess and Burris Velocette books, not to mention the wealth of information contained in Fishtail. Therefore I started to document as much pertinent technical information as I could lay my hands on.

Great story from Greg Summerton, about an attempted Velocette trip across Australia in 1922; the bike is probably a Velocette GC3 'Colonial' model 225cc two-stroke! A very light machine, and sophisticated with throttle-controlled oil injection, and a 3 speed gearbox. Was it up to the job?
